The problem is, I’ve already tried to solve this problem by editing out “personal happiness” as a goal to seek.
Do you think that removing personal happiness as one of your goals has helped you be more productive? What could you take to add some amount of personal happiness as one of your goals? Would that be worthwhile?
Do you think it is likely that you would take those steps? If there are reasons to not make that change, do you think the reasons are realistic in likelihood and it magnitude?
(I’m asking questions because I hope this will help more than other types of interactions. There’s no reason that you should feel obligated to be emotionally vulnerable towards me. Without emotional vulnerability—from taking apart your personality—specific suggestions / instructions about what to change can easily be taken the wrong way. But if questions like this are coming off as passive-aggressive, I want to stop.)
